Tree Nut Free Vegan Hot Toddy
Warm, whiskey-forward, and laced with the brightness of fresh lemon, this hot toddy is the kind of drink that makes a cold evening feel genuinely cozy. Maple syrup steps in as the sweetener here, adding a subtle depth that plain sugar just can't match, and it dissolves beautifully into the hot water. A cinnamon stick and whole cloves steep right in the mug, perfuming every sip with gentle spice without any fussy prep. The whole thing comes together in minutes with ingredients you likely already have on hand. Since every component is naturally plant-based and free from tree nuts, there's nothing to second-guess — just a clean, comforting drink you can feel good about. Serve it with a lemon wheel for a little extra brightness, and let it do its job.
